 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi again,
Well plans have changed ever so slightly and we are now going to stay in La Plagne 1800.
I have been looking for appartments and I have only come across this one - Résidence Maeva Plagne Lauze. Does any one know of it or stayed at it in the past? It looks ok, but so does all holiday accomodation in photographs. I would also like any comments about the village its self - skiing, nightlife, food and ski hire. We are going to be traveling by car and arrive at the resort on the 4th March 2006.
I look forward to all your comments and feedback,
Cheers,
Chris

Staed in 1800 a couple of years ago, spent most evenings in a bar called "La Mine" I think!, good live music and atmosphere. There is a cracking restaurant just above the lift 1800, short trudge across the piste and a smaller one adjacent to the lift that the chalet hosts try and push you towards on their night off! The best way back to 1800 is under the building in Plagne Centre and then follow the piste over the bridge and down. The red under the lift is fun but leaves yo at the very bottom of the resort.

1800 isn't great for apres but the restaurant away from the 1800 chair is superb. Its called Le Petite Chaperon Rouge (little red riding hood) Le Loup Blanc, next to the chair lift is great for pizzas etc. I have walked past the Maeva, looked OK, I think they are next to the supermarket, which means a decent walk to the lift.

Stayed in a Silver Ski chalet last April and had a great time. The Mine is the bar to go to although it can be quiet at times. The only restaurant we visited was the Loup Blanc and I thiught the food was excellent. When skiing back from Plagne Centre the snow was quite poor and the even bulldozed the piste away on the last day which caused a sharp in take of breath as we came around the last bend.
You can get the bus to Plagne Centre for an evening out (find a bar called Ja - dutch guy, very friendly)

I stayed in the Maeva 3 seasons ago and it was clean, cosy and warm. It is a no frill residence and you have to collect your linen from a building a few metres away. Lifts depending on which apt you are in are about 2-5 mins walk.
The apts have an list of kitchen utensils etc and all needs to be there at the end of the week, meaning you get the full stock when you arrive.
Noise was minimal and we had a balcony and view of the slopes so was very happy.
The restaurant on the slopes opposite the lift is awesome, I spent my birthday in there and have very fond memories. La Mine is a nice boozer with good atmosphere and happy hour to coincide with the closing times of the lifts.
Would definitely go back so have good time!

Last bus from centre is 12:45, if you go to Saloon or Luna there are free taxis home, only takes 15mins to sledge home from centre though

Has anyone actually stayed in the Chalet Loup Blanc, La Plagne 1800?

I've no idea about other set of accomodation have stayed in plagne 1800 twice and wouldn't rush back. It always seemed to involve a trek to the better skiing. very quiet. same to remember one nice restaurant in a converted barn at foot of slopes. v. quiet and the skiing isn't very exciting and its a long way to the glacier for stronger skiers

dan100, why stay there twice then? Glacier isnt the be all and end all of difficult skiing in La Plagne by any means and skiing around and over to that area is half the fun. Nightlife in La Plagne as a whole isnt wild, but if you know where to go you're guaranteed a good night!

Nadenoodlee where would you recommend then in La Plange to go out in the evening (drinking) if you were based in Plange 1800.
Cheers,

You know it makes sense.

blondends, if you're in a catered chalet then its possible to get your fill (mostly) of booze over dinner (the very nice Silver Ski people in chalet D'Anna last year were most helpful in keeping the carafes topped up to facilitate this). You then don't need to go out to the boozer if you don't want. However, if you're feeling a little thirsty later, a civilised atmosphere can be found in Le Mine or jump the bus to Plagne Centre and hunt out Ja!( see above).
